Catarrh to Consumption.

Catsrrh in its destructive force stands next to
and undoubtedly leads on TO consumption. It is
therefore singular that those afflicted with this
fearful disease should not make IL the object of
their lives to rid themselves OF il. Deceptive
remedies cOncocted by ignorant pretenders 10
medical knowledge have weakened the conf
dence OF the great majority OF sufferers IN all
advertised remedies. They become resigned TO
life of misery rather than torture themselves
with doubtful palliativeS.
But this win never 90. Catarrh must be met
81 every stage and cOmbated with AL our might.
In many cases the disease has assumed dangerous
symptoms. The bones snd cartilage OF the nose,
the orgsns OF hearing Of seeing and of tasting so
affected as to be useless, the uvula so elongated,
the throat so intiamed and irritated as TO pro-
duee constant and distressing cough.
SanfOTd's Radical Cure meets every phase of
CatSrrh, from a simple head cold to the most
loathsome and destructive stages. It is local and
constitutional. Instant in relieving. permanent
in curing, safe, economical and never failing.
Each package contains one bottle of the Radi-
cal Cure, one box OF Catarrhal Solvent. and an
Improved Inhaler, with treatise; price, 81.

Colds in the Head are ysry Prevalent.

Every one should know that what is called a
common cold in the head III neglected, is
likely TO result in chronic Nasal catarrh-a very
disgusting and distressing complaint, aud diff

ical authorities now say IL is due to atmospheric
germs, the prediSpoSing causes being wet

Drane OF the Nasal passages which, when I'M

ti0n-for catarrh IS essentially cold which
nature is no longer able to throw off,
At this advanced stage there is an infamma-
ton and liberation of the lining membrane of
the Nasal air passages, attended with feeling
OF soreness ana swelling, and an offensive dis
charge of mucous.
The breath OF chronic eatarrh patient is
often so offensive that he can not go into society
and he becomes an object OF disgust, even to
himself.

sands o. despairing patients can testify.
For the relief and cure of the Inflammation
and congestion called "c0ld IN the head"
there is more potency in Ely's Cream Balm than
in anything else il is possible to prescribe This
brilliant success as remedy for cold IN the head
and catarTh.
Used in the initial stages OF these complaints
Cream Balm prevents any serious development
OF the symptoms, while almost numberlesS cases
are on record OF radical cures of chronic catarrh

true to say that Ely's Cream Balm has proved its
superiority, and sufferers from cold in the head
should resort to it before that common ailment
becomes seated and ends in obstinate catarrh.

Indiana Gas.

Our neighbor, Indiana, if not actually on
fire, Is ready to set all the rest OF the u MON
on fire with natural gas. There are DOS
sibly a few acres left in the Hoosier State
on which some company has not sunk a
natural gas well, or is not sinking one or
is not preparing to sink one, but they must
be very few. Noblesyille has got half
dozen or so of wells which yield enough
gas to light half dozen cities and supply
the furnaces of half dozen foundries.
Kokomo always has everything that is
catching. and has it in the most violent
manner, and therefore Kokomo has gas
wells. Muncie has gas enough to induce
Baltimore or Philadelphia, or any other
quiet place, to move over in body. The
same may be said of Mexico, and, in fact.
about the only place in Indiana that hasn't
got gas is Indianapolis, and, unfortunately,
indianapolis very seldom gets anything
that is worth having.
What is Indiana a-going to do with her
gas? 1t is of no use without factories to
consume it; and it may be worth while to
caution our neighbors against too great ex-
pectatiens. Very large factories are the
creations of very large capitals, and very
large capitals are the most cautious Great
ures in the world. A man or body of men
who have large factory in Ohio or New
Jersey will not tear up and move to Indi-
ana merely because Indiana can offer cheap
fuel in the guise of gas. The article is not
yet very well known; it is not
safe TO predict that its supply
will be permanent. Petroleum wells
yield for only a brief time. and there
seems to be some RELATIONSHIP between
natural gas and petroleum. Besides, the
area of distribution of natural gas is I'M
mense. 1t seems to be found everywhere,
or almost everywhere. Years ago, before
petroleum was dreamed Of, they used to
show burning spring" on the edge of
Niagara. 1t was counted as a wonder
then; nowadays, every one knows that Il is
Just the kind of gas that is found in all
petroleum and most salt wells. Burning
springs can &c found by the hundred in
the valleys Of West Virginia and Ohio, and
there the gas is near the iron ore, which
can be melted by it.
But the intent of this is to rejoice IN,
rather than depreciate. our neighbours
good luck. Let the Indiana people utilize
their gas for home manufactures Small
wooden and cotton mills, starch factories,
and other local industries can be advan.
tageOusly managed where such cheap fuel
is found. II they prove successful large
capitals will be attracted. II fictitious
prices are made the rule small capitals will
be made timid, and the first manufactur-
ing efforts of the Indiana gas regions will
have 10 be made by small capitals.
Meanwhile, why is there no search for
natural gas in Illinois? 1t is not to be
supposed that it is not abundant in some
parts of the State, and why not in or near
Chicago?

The Company Files a Demurrer to the

BOsToN, April Pin the United States
Circuit Court to-day the Bell Telephone

murrer, stripped OF some of its formalities,
sets forth that: The said bill is multi

prayers for relief in respect of patents No.
ia, Ago, dated March Z, 1876, and allega

1S6. ISL, dated January 80, 1887; that the
bill does not point out and specify which
OF the persons, patents and publications
referred to in its several schedules
claimed in the said two patents,
respectively, nor in the several claims
of each, it appearing by said schedule that
some of the patents and publications
therein referred to are subsequent in date
TO both the sai0 patents granted to Bell.
The items of the demurrer are given in de-
tail, and the demurrer continues: "As to
each and every charge in said bill, set forth
as the basis Of attacks on the validity of
said patents or any claim of the validity of
either of them, this defendant demurs
thereto separately for the reason that it
does not show the said patent to be void,
and also because the allegations herein
contained, If true, would not entitle the
plaintiff to the relief prayed for, nor to
any relief in a court OF equity" The de-
murrer will be argued some weeks hence
on date to be assigned by the court.

gas is obtained, no city in the State has
brighter prospect in store.
The city School Board has advertised for

Everybody is rejoicing, and another well

THE GARFIELD FAMILY.
A Glimpse at the Handsome Home n
Mnntnr and Its Occunanti.

Glimpse at the Handsome Home nj
Mentor and Its Occupants.
In five years there have been many
notable changes in tho Garfield family
There have been no deaths, but the
children of whom the father was so
fond have grown up. The two older
boys have begun course in the Co
lumbia College Law School, and Harry,
the elder has been teaching in some
Eastern school. Both are graduates OF
Williams College. James R Garfield
has been studying law with Judge
Boynton in Cleveland, and is looked
upon by friends of his father as this
son most like him in every way.
He has his fathers size, complexion,
eyes and manner. Both sons are now
men, and have, it is said, great am
bition. Miss Mollie, the only daughter,
is now young woman taller than her
mother, and has about finished her
studies. The two younger sons,
Abram and Irwin-the latter named
for General Irwin McDowell-are old
enough to enter a school on the Hud-
son, and left home for their duties
there recently. They had never been
away from home alone before
Since the preliminary education OF
Abram and Irwin III the Cleveland
public schools the mother has had no
further desire to live in city. She
has ordered her mansion in Cleveland
sold and has decided to make her
future home in Mentor. She has here
added to the modest frame house OF
her husband "Queen Anne" structure
which cost $4,000. 1t is the most inn
posing home IN the country, although
the new part is behind and wholly sub
seryient to the old house in which the
President lived. This still remains the
head and front of the Garfield home,
although remodeled to conform with
the addition. A 100000 addition to
s., 900 house is a curiosity in modern
architecture, but sentiment for the
past and its illustrious dead inspired
it. There are probably sixty rooms IN
both new and old houses. They re
all furnished in modern style and win
considerable elegance, and there IS an
air of aristocracy about the interior
which Garfield did not know in his own
home. Although the house is far III
the country it has all the con7enlenceS
of a city home-in plumbing, gas-ht-
ting and steam-heating.
A natural GAS well has been bored on
the farm, and the yard is kept lighted
day and night. The main entrance IS IS
through the old house. In the nan
facing the door is "Grandma' Tar
